If you're cheering Trump on then you have no right to call yourself a patriot.

You absolute moron.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Many people are asking: Is NYT publisher AG Sulzberger the CVXII mentioned in the Epstein Files?
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

An analysis of news pieces about Trump’s anti-trans decrees found that “70 percent did not include a quote from a single trans person. Instead, journalists turned to cisgender sources — mostly government officials — to speak about trans people, their lives, and how they would be affected.”

Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew about his crimes, newly released emails reveal – live updates
In new batch of emails released by House Democrats, Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump ‘spent hours’ at his house with one of his victims In a new batch of emails released by Democrats on the House oversight committee, Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald Trump knew about the late financier and sex-offender’s crimes. In the three emails released, Epstein apparently told his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump “spent hours” at his house with one of Epstein’s victims. In two other emails to author Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote that “of course he knew about the girls”, referring to the now-president. According to the exchanges, Epstein also solicited Wolff’s advice about how he should handle Trump discussing their friendship in an interview with CNN. “I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff writes. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.” Continue reading...

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

I'm still angry that eight collaborators in the @democrats.senate.gov caucus caved and achieved nothing substantive. I don't see myself donating time or money to them, and as of now, I cannot see voting for them in 2026.

"letting this fight go" means millions will lose our health care. If Dems can't fight for healthcare they do not reliably stand for anything. In purely political terms, fighting for Obama's signature achievement (ACA) would be "a good strategy" to retain dem voters. Stop capitulating to monsters.

@davidjroth.bsky.social you have to admit, making foreign heads of state come to your wack-ass Florida golf club and jerk off imaginary dicks in front of a crowd of dentists and car dealership owners is a power move.

You simply can’t imagine the coverage if a Dem president told Americans to shut the fuck up about high prices
Trump: Our groceries are way down. Everything is way down. So I don't want to hear about the affordability.
